Gum recession happens when the gums slowly pull back and expose more of the tooth, often from brushing too hard, firm toothbrushes, inflammation, or even genetics.
Catching it early really matters since recession can lead to sensitivity and other issues if it’s ignored. Routine dental visits help spot changes early and keep gums healthy!
